3. The Klausenberger Rebbe: Arabs Worse than Nazis
"As the Blood Avenger of my wife and 11 children, I will not stop warning that the Arabs are worse than the Nazis"
http://www.sos-israel.com/62108.html
After hearing the Jerusalem Mufti Muhamed Hussein s shocking words calling for the murder of Jews, we bring the chilling words of Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Halberstam, the Klausenberger Rebbe, author of the sefer Shefa Chaim. Rabbi Halberstam lost a wife and 11 children ?HY"D - in the Holocaust.
They built the gas chambers for Hitler
In our day it should be natural for us to hate the Yishmaelim (Arabs); it should be impossible for us to look at them, after all we went through with the Nazis during the war years under Hitler, yemach shemo (may his name be erased). It is known that the Mufti (many his name and memory be erased) was the one who taught Hitler how to build the gas chambers and crematorium. I can attest to that. When we were released from the camps we were placed in a former Nazi Youth camp building. On the closets and door were Arabic words. When translated, we learned that they wrote: The Mufti and his group lived here when they invented and taught Hitler to build the gas chambers.
Deep hatred towards a non-Jew
"After these evil ones helped and wanted to wipe out the Jewish people, our hatred towards them is unlimited. How can we look into their eyes and befriend lowly murderers who plan day at night how to decimate us so that the name of Yisroel will not be remembered.
"After all the above, there are still groups of evil ones, atheists and non ?believers, particularly in universities and other places, among them those called Knesset members , who aspire to befriend goyim, and even protect them. However, they hate Jews who are loyal to the Torah, and derisively call them dati ."
